CROPS WILL SPOIL
Driving Rains on the Prairies Are
Doing Much Damage.
NO CESSATION SINCE SUNDAY
Shocked Grain Soaked I luoukU and
I'llruuK'h—Situation Fast Grow
ing Desperate.
Specials to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. B.—A steady
rain has been falling throughout the en
tire eastern and northern portion of the
state since midnight Sunday night, and
the prospects seem good for several days'
downpour. It has not been raining hard,
but the fall has been accompanied by a
hard, driving wind, and the grain that is
in shock will be soaked through and
through.
The rain has been the steadiest and
most penetrating of any this fall, and th*
damage will be heavy.
TSie situation in the western portion
of the statt and In the northern central
portion, where the chief or most paying
<rop is flax, is growing serious. Before
.an be any more flax threshed, it
Will be about the middle of the mouth,
leaving but two weeks before the Ist of
November for doing the remainder of
•Jit- work. The days are getting so short
.hat but little tiax can be threshed In
a itay, us it is usually impossible to thresh
In the morning, as it is necessary for flax
to be very dry before it can be put
through a machine. There is at least a
month's threshing yet io do both north
and west of this place, and it is a cer
tainty that some will not be done this
Xall, even with good weather.
About Devils Lake there Is still some
flax to out,and this is in better shape than
that cut anu lying on the ground for sev
eral weeks. There are also thousands of
acres of wheat to thresh, and the rain
Bow fulling will damage it very niate
rialljr.
Mayvllle, N. D., Oct B.—Rain has been
falling here almost continuously for the
last twentyrfour hours, and it bids fair
to keep on for some ilme longer. Thresh
ing will be materially delated as it Is
BOW so late in the fall that the grain drys
very slowly. Should the rain be followed
by a i-old spell, a good deal of grain will
be lost.
Fargo, X. D., Oct. B.—An almost twenty
four-hour rain fell over all parts of the
state and has delayed threshing for many
days. The rainfall exceeded two inches in
some sections and the farmers are very
much discouraged.
datum, X. D., Oct. B.—lt has been
raining for the past twenty-four hours,
and as a result all threshing is at a
standstill.
Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 8. —Another rain
fall of two inches, which was general
throughout the northern part of the state,
has again delayed threshing, and farmers
are anxious.

Treatment
That Cures
Positive Evidence That the Physicians of the North
western Infirmary Are Skilled Specialists.
Public Proof of Their Success.
PNEUMO-VIBRATION
Treatment for Ear Troubles and the
Great Absorbtlon System
for the Eyes.
The Northwestern Infirmary's new
Pneumo-Vibration system of treating all
forms of deafness, aud their wonderful
absorption method of curing cataracts,
granulated and all kinds of sore eyes, is
the most pronounced success of the cen
tury. Pneumo-Vibration removes in
flammation in the posterior cavities, opens
the eustachian tube, increases circulation,
carries away morbid deposits, stimulates
the auditory nerve, restoring it to its nor
mal condition and cures deafness and
head noises.
The greatest discovery 'of the age is
their wonderful absorption method of pos
itive, permanently and speedily curing
cataracts, granulated lids and all dis
eases of the eye. Cross-eyes absolutely
cured without the use of the knife by this
scientific system.
"PERFECTLY CLEAR NOW"
"Headache and Pains Over Eyes Qone
and 1 Breath Freely Through
fly Nose."
Thomas Robinson, a resident of Minne
apolis for 33 years, a well-known south
side paperhanger, now residing at the Sol
diers' Home, has this to say of the phy
sicians of the Northwestern Infirmary:
I have been troubled for a long time; my
nose stopped up. 1 had severe pains in top
of head, also over the eyes. When I would
blow my nose there would be a cracking noise
iv my ears and a sort of sticky feeling. I was
quite deaf for the past few years, but since
treating with the Northwestern Infirmary
physicians my bearing has been greatly im
proved. My nobe was badly stopped up, so
much so that I could not force air through It.
But I must say it is perfectly clear now. The
physicians of the Northwestern-Infirmary re
moved a large growth from it. This he told
me caused the stopping up. I noticed it was
always worse in damp weather. I want to
recommend the physicians as conscientious
men, who thoroughly understand their busi
ness. THOMAS THEO. ROBINSON.
HOME TREATTIENT.
No one is deprived of the benefits of the
Northwestern Infirmary's treatment be
cause living at a distance from the office.
The same uniform success attending treat
ment in their offices is found in their
home treatment of patients by mail. If
you live out of the city, write, describ
ing fully your symptoms, and they will
have the same careful attention as though
you visited the Infirmary's physicians.

N. DAK. PETCAT CASE
May Prove a Dangerous Rival of
lowa's Calf Case.
ALL OF THOMPSON IS INTERESTED
•lustier Court Action Appealed to
Circuit Court and the
End It Hot let.
Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N, D., Oct. B.—The famous
Jones county calf case, from lowa, will
have a revival in the now famous "cat
case" of Thompson, Grand Porks county,
N. D. It seems that toward Smith, the
assistant station agent of the Great
Northern at Thompson, shot a cat belong
ing to E. T. Spafford, a genral merchant
at that place, who prized the animal very
highly.
Spafford at first endeavored to have
Smith prosecuted criminally, but States
Attorney Winemen refused to do It, and j
Spafford then began a suit in Justice;
court for $50 damages. This case came up
Friday, before Justice Cameron, who dis
missed the action, holding that the cat |
was not one of the domestic animals*,
termed property by the state code.
Spafford Is not through yet, however,
and has taken an appeal to the district
court, and has retained the firm of Bosard
& Bosard to prosecute his case, while C.
G. Murphy, the legal representative of the
Great Northern railroad in this city, will
represent Howard.
As the legal talent employed is among
the best obtainable, the case will be an
interesting one before Its finish. The bar
of the city is greatly interested and all
of the attorneys have been "digging" for
law that would be applicable. The date
for the trial in the district court has not
been set, but the case will without doubt
cornel up at the December term, as there
will 'be a jury summoned at* that time.
At Thompson the case is the topic of the
hour.
NICE FOR LITTLE FALLS
PLANS OP WESTJXGHOLSE FOLKS
Plant for the Manufacture of Elec
trlcal tlucliiiMTv and Trol
leys Galore.
Special to The Journal.
St. Cloud, Minn., Oct. 8.-t-"Great Ex
pectations" is the title of a serial story
in which Little Falls is much interested
just now. The presence for the past six
months at Little Falls of a promoter for
an eastern manufacturing concern has, it
is said, resulted in the completion of ne
gotiations for an enterprise which will
make a city of Little Falls. It is intend
ed to utilize the splendid waterpower for
power for a giant manufacturing plant.
The Westinghouse Electric company,
one of the largest manufacturers of elec
trical machinery in the world, will locate
a plant on the dam which will manufac
ture machinery used by the company in
its western trade, tl is proposed to build
an electric railway line to the brick
yards west of Little Falls and finally to
Swan River and Elm Dale, later expecting
to build the line east to Pierz and Buck
man and eventually to the Mille Lacs lake
country.
The principal local promoter Is M. M.
Williams, president of the water power
company, and the Westinghou.se people
now in the city will make a specific state
ment of their intentions to the city coun
cil at an early date. The county commis
sioners recently rebated some $20,000 real
estate taxes on weter power real property
as an inducement to securing the enter
prise.
THE TREATMENT
THAT CURES
The Northwestern Infirmary's new
method of treating all diseases of the
eye, ear, nose, throat and respiratory
troubles is lifting the darkness and blight
of the word "incurable" from hundreds
of cases of disease due to catarrh. This
treatment works its curative action for
three reasons:
(IST) IT REACHES EVERY DIS
EASED SPOT, FROM THE ORIFICE OF
THE NOSE AND THROAT TO THE
DEEPEST PART OF THE LUNGS AND
TO THE INNERMOST RECESSES OF
THE MIDDLE EAR.
(2ND) INSTEAD OF IRRITATING, IN
FLAMING AND FEEDING THE FIRES
OF THE DISEASE, IT SOOTHES
QUIETS, HEALS AND CURES.
(3D) EACH INDIVIDUAL CASE RE
CEIVES SCIENTIFIC LOCAL TREAT
MENT, ESPECIALLY PREPARED FOR
THE PARTICULAR DISEASE BEING
TREATED.
What is the method that cures condi
tions once regarded as Incurable?
Proper and intelligent diagnosis of the
trouble, its origin and development.
By what process does it restore the dis
eased membrane, remove the poison and
relieve the soreness of disease?
By soothing local applications and treat
ment, and medicines specially prepared
for each individual disease, applied and
administered only by the physician* of the
Northwestern Infirmary.
TREATMENT
OF CATARRH
Medicine Alone Will Not Cure Tbis
/lost Prevalent of Diseases.
In the treatment of catarrhal troubles
the one thing requisite is knowledge of
the disease. Then a special course of
scientific treatment both local and In
ternal. The medicine and treatment, is
necessarily different in each case, as the
disease warrants. That one kind of medi
cine will cure one disease and have no ef
fect and aggravate another is a well
known fact.
The physicians of the Northwestern In
firmary are successful because of their
ability to propertly diagnose and treat all
troubles of the eye, ear, nose, throat and
respiratory organs. By their method the
patient gets medicine specially prepared
for the individual case, while the local
treatment reaches the disease as it should.

Mouse Almost Caused Death
Special to The Journal.
Appleon, Wis., Oct. B.—George Dambruch, a manufacturer of pop and soda
water 1, narrowly escaped being seriously injured yesterday afternoon as a result of
beiDg frightened by mice. He went to his barn shortly after noon for the purpose
of feeding his horse, and while in the hay loft engaged in throwing hay into the
manger, he uncovered a nest in which a dozen or more of mice were hiding. The
rodents ran in every direction and, according to Mr 1. Dambruch, one of them sought
refuge up his trouser leg. This frightened him into a faint and, falling backwards,
he dropped through the hole where he had been throwing hay and struck on his head
on the floor of the stall below, receiving a scalp wound and several injuries about the
body. Five hours after the accident he was discovered by his wife, still in a semi
comatose condition.
Texas Oil Flow Diminishing

Austin, Texas, Oct. —The oil wells in the Beaumont field have caused new won
der in the last few days. Investigation of the probable cause of the strange action
of these former gushers is to be made by the state geological survey, of which Dr.
William B. Phillips Is the head. Th.c drillers have noticed that the flow of oil in
some of the wells was spasmodic; that they would spurt for a few minutes and then
almost completely. die out. It is now admitted by the oil men and drillers that he
flow of all the wells is rapidly decreasing. . •. ■. ,
Cat Uncovers a Human Head
Royal Oak, Mich., Oct. 8. —While gathering hickory nuts on the Medbury farm,
a mile north of this village, Harrison Long noticed a cat digging near 1 a decayed log.
His curiosity being aroused, he investigated and found that the cat had uncovered a
woman's head. The body was decomposed. The right arm from the elbow was sep
arated from the trunk, but the left arm was bent ardund and lay across the back.
An indentation on the wrists indicated that the hands had been tied behind the
back. The clothing indicated the woman to be in excellent circumstances.

Governor Selected Miss Went and
Now, "Ms Asserted, the Mayor

Special to The Journal.
Dcs Moines, low, Oct. B.—Des Moines
society is in a turmoil of trouble anil
politics over the recent action of Gov
ernor Shaw in appointing Miss Frances
West to christen the cruiser Dcs Moines,
which wlll^be launched at the Quincy,
Mass., shipyards in November.
Some of the opponents of Miss West
and her friends declare the governor had
no buslne&s to make the appointment,
that the affair was a municipal one, and
Mayor Hartenbower should have been ac
corded the honor. Several fair but angry
females have gone to the mayor with their
troubles, but so far he has declined to
interfere, though confiding to friends it
would have been fitting had the governor
left the selection to him.
On the other hand, the mayor does not
want the appointment left to him, as he
is a democrat and is aware he would be
assailed from ail directions by persona
of both parties who would like to see
some of their own friends given the right
to break the bottle over the prow of the
cruiser.

"Well, just get a box. They will only cost
